{"title":"Ebner Ebenauer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Weinviertel, in Austria's far northeast, rarely gets the attention of the Wachau or the Kamptal. Marion and Manfred Ebner-Ebenauer have spent nearly two decades showing what it can do, with Grüner Veltliner of real depth and nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManfred studied marketing before turning to winemaking under his father's guidance, and met Marion while she was studying wine management. They released their first wines together in 2007, from a 400-year-old estate in the town of Poysdorf. The holdings have grown from seven hectares to about 20, spread over 38 sites, some with vines more than 70 years old. They began working organically in 2016 and in 2023 joined respekt-BIODYN, the association of biodynamic growers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cellar work is hands-off: grapes picked by hand, every parcel vinified separately, spontaneous fermentations, and as little pumping and machinery as possible. Manfred is an avowed Burgundy lover, and it shows. Grüner Veltliner is the heart of the range, from an entry-level bottling up to old-vine single vineyards such as Hermannschachern and Sauberg, alongside Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Zweigelt, St. Laurent and a small run of much sought-after sparkling wines. Expect textured, peppery, saline whites with real grip.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ebner-ebenauer-ried-hermannschachern-gruner-veltliner-2023-750ml","title":"Ebner Ebenauer, Ried Hermannschachern Gruner Veltliner, 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classified single-vineyard Grüner Veltliner that makes the case for Austria's workhorse grape as serious fine wine. Hermannschachern is a 1ÖTW site above Poysdorf in the Weinviertel — a steep, south-facing slope of chalky loess over Muschelkalk, the shell limestone that gives the wine its salty edge — and Marion and Manfred Ebner-Ebenauer farm their 1.5-hectare parcel of roughly 40-year-old vines organically and biodynamically. They pick late for ripeness but vinify for tension: about twelve hours on the skins, spontaneous fermentation, then six months on the fine lees in steel, with no oak anywhere. What you get is the Weinviertel's signature white pepper wrapped around real salinity and grip. Manfred's family has grown grapes here for fourteen generations and still works out of a 400-year-old cellar; the label itself only dates to 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MS Walker [MSW]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46274526249017,"sku":"NYC-MSW-`457381`-080326-2","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Ebner-Ebenauer-Ried-Hermannschachern-Gruner-Veltliner-2023-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1786027245"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/ebner-ebenauer.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
